Abstract 

Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death throughout the world. One of the important reasons why conventional treatments fail is the development of resistance to therapeutics. The dual effect concept and self-defense mechanism plus the threshold theory might in part explain the development of resistance, however, the primary cause is unclear. A novel theory, `cell brain', where, selective crystallization of the `brain' of a cell (comprising centrosome, centrioles and the connecting filaments) occurs, may be a potential alternate approach to cancer therapy.
